More of a math lesson than physics or space science, high schoolers take a set of data and plot it on a log-log coordinate system. The write-up for day two was never completed, but day one, "Stars and Slopes," is complex and cohesive....

Aspiring astronomers study stars. They compare stars and explain the relationship between radius, mass, and diameter. By creating a star simulation, they discover how a binary star system's orbit can cause changes in the observed...

Students gain an understanding of how the powers of 10 and scientific notation can be used to represent the scale of things in the universe. They relate the number of stars in the universe to the number of grains of sand on Earth's beaches.

In this coloring worksheet, learners color the stars that are all labeled with a number according to the color key for numbers 1 through 10. Students color 18 stars total.

Seventh graders find constellation distances and plot the stars. In this star lesson, 7th graders plot the star points for Canis Major. Students use graphing calculators to graph the constellation. Students choose another constellation...

Physical science starters play with a pendulum in order to experience periodicity. Detailed procedures and a worksheet are included for day one. For day two, learners will use a graphing calculator to help them plot orbit data from a...

Students cut out red, white, and blue stars and create different patterns with them. In this patterns lesson, students can make stamp patterns, number patterns, color patterns, and more!

Students explore about our planet, the earth, the moon, the sun, and stars, and how they move in relation to each other. They participate in three hands-on activities: acting out the paths of the earth and moon, identifying...

Ninth graders study the uses of spectroscopy and the operation of the Hubble space telescope.  In this astronomy instructional activity students complete a lab activity that includes graphing star color and temperature.

Students produce a drawing of the flag representing their knowledge of its physical characteristics: its rectangle shape, alternating red and white stripes and blue rectangle with stars in the upper corner.

Students solve multiplication problems utilizing virtual manipulatives, express multiplication problems in form of expressions, enter data into a spreadsheet and analyze results, and play game Circles and Stars.

Examine ratio and scale through coordinate geometry. Scholars use two diagrams of different scale to calculate perimeter and area. Then, individuals use the perimeters and areas to find ratios.

Students use the slopes of various curves plotted on log-log graph paper to classify stellar objects as binary stars, supernovae, or active galaxies.The data used in this lesson were obtained from X-ray astronomy satellites.

Take a look at a star resource. Young mathematicians use a graphing calculator to draw intersecting lines that look like a star. They then apply translations to move the entire star and also consider what transformations must occur to...

Students recognize and count numbers 1-4 using a racing game. In this math instructional activity, students move cars around a racetrack by matching colors and seeing numbers. The student who finishes the race first is the winner.

Take a rocket to the stars with using a math learning exercise. Here, four sets of alien saucers, moons, rockets, and stars prompt young learners to match numbers with one more or ten more. Color the pictures for extra fun when students...

The magic number is six! Using a 6x table, young math stars practice adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing two-digit numbers with the number six. This worksheet also touches on making tessellations with hexagons. 

The star of the show is ratios. The informative resource explains how to transpose music using ratios. Individuals transpose the song "Twinkle, Twinkle" in the activity by applying their ratio skills. The activity challenges class...

Your class compares groups of small stars by counting quantities in each of two sets and deciding which has more. They write symbols for greater than, less than, or equal to in a circle between each pair of sets. Two completed samples...

Find the sequence of an equation with your math super stars. They differentiate between arithmetic and geometric sequences and then calculate the sum of finite and infinite sequences.

In this thinking logically while counting objects worksheet, students observe a building covered with squares, stars, and beetles and fill in the blank spaces of a graph by comparing the objects. Students solve three problems.

Math and science come together in this cross-curricular astronomy lesson plan on planetary motion. Starting off with a hands-on activity that engages the class in exploring the geometry of circles and ellipses, this lesson...

In this mathematics worksheet, students identify various shapes. Then they circle the correct number of shapes illustrated in each box. There are 10 problems to solve on the sheet.

In this mathematics worksheet, students identify various types of shapes shown. Then they circle the group with the most shapes. There are 8 problems to solve on the sheet.
